Google is revamping its popular messaging application to make texting easier for daily users. The app's pinned chats section will receive significant visual and practical updates, including animated typing indicators, new media previews, and group selection tools.

The current typing indicator, which displays the word 'typing', will be replaced with an animation of the contact's profile picture. This change is intended to give the chat list a more active and playful look.

Additionally, the app will show a small thumbnail of incoming media in the main menu, making it easier for users to identify what has been sent without having to open the conversation. The new design includes specific icons for different types of files, such as photos, videos, GIFs, and PDFs.

The update also allows users to manage multiple pins at once, enabling them to select several threads and pin or unpin them simultaneously. This feature will save time and help keep inboxes organized.
